Robots Are Coming For My Job and Yours

Coyote Productions /Screen capture In this month's Wired Magazine, Kevin Kelly discusses the inevitability of most of our jobs being done by robots, predicting that in fact 7 out of 10 of us will have our own jobs replaced by computers and robots. (they even list a pile of jobs that are on their way out ). We have discussed this in TreeHugger as well. I was pretty sure my job was safe, that green architectural criticism was untouchable. Two decades ago there were some early paper-bound attempts at artificial architectural intelligence (HOK shows this great list from Maxwell Starkman ) but now the computer makes us totally obsolete, with the Speak Like An Architect program from Coyote Productions. As Commander Pike says at the end of Star Trek, I am relieved. Try it at Speak Like an Architect and here's how you can dress like an architect too. Hat tip to Amanda Kolson Hurley
